“Landing Under Water, I See Roots”

Posted on • Words by Annie Finch • Art by Stacy Isenbarger

Collaborators’ Q&A: Artist Stacy Isenbarger: The color royal blue had a strong impact in my sketching process but also the idea of limbs being both human and tree. I found myself counting and creating itemized lists of thoughts during my design process too. These ideas progressed and danced their way into my depicted response. Poet Annie Finch: It surprises me to be reminded that “Landing Under Water, I See Roots” is, after all, a poem about the possibility of connecting with people, about the spectrum of human connection.

Poet Annie Finch has published many books of poetry; her newest book, Spells: New and Selected Poems, is just out from Wesleyan University Press. Artist Stacy Isenbarger’s creative pursuits include sculpture, installation, & mixed-media drawings.
